Our patients testimonials

I came into Dr. Ryos office with a dental emergency and have since made them my primary dental office. Not only did Dr. Ryo take care of my emergency in a very timely manner but he was also able to save a few teeth that I had been previously told couldn’t be saved. I’ve had a significant amount of visits/work done and it has all been painless which is a plus. The rest of the staff is amazing as well. Everyone is polite and caring and take care of any concerns/needs. They will give you a smile you are proud of. I’d recommend this office to everyone!
Lazette G.

I am past 70 and have had a lot of dental work done in my life. I have been going to Elegant Smiles formore than a year now. This practice is, without a doubt, the best I have ever been to, including university dental schools and very fine dentists. The entire staff is incredibly competent, and the hygienist and Dr. Ryo are absolutely superb. Moreover, they are friendly, personable, kind, and caring. My advice is to check them out today! Just FYI, I have never written a positive review of any office practice before; I asked for the link to write this one!
Sara N.

I came to Dr. Ryo after a poor experience at a previous dentist and with some hesitation and fears about going to the dentist in general. On my first appointment I was warmly greeted by Miki and immediately put at ease by the dental hygienist. Dr. Ryo always takes the time to come meet me as well as explain everything to make me feel comfortable with treatment decisions.I decided to start an Invisalign treatment after a few months of being with the practice and have been beyond pleased with the experience and results. The front desk staff are always welcoming and friendly. I highly recommend this practice to all my friends and will be taking my daughter in whenever she gets teeth!
Jamie C.

Emergency crown replacement needed! I was seen the day I walked in, then my tooth was worked on the very next day. On top of that, the crown was done in only a week time which usually takes 2 weeks. My VA insurance benefits are in San Diego. Dr. Ryo, Mickey and Ashley we're able to help with the complex VA benefits paper work to get my crown done here in Atlanta, saving me a trip back to California. I was very fortunate to find this team. The office is beautiful and very inviting and the staff is very nice, grounded and friendly. Thank you! The crown is perfect!
Michael H.

Chipped my tooth and Elegant Smiles was able to get me an appointment the same day. I liked the fast and friendly service of the dentist and staff so much that I went back 2 days later to fix some cavities that they found.

Great Service and caring professionals.

Dr. Rio is very caring and took time to instruct his patients on proper care of the teeth and go the extra mile to address his patients' oral needs. The service was great and fast. He follows up to make sure i was ok. He reaches out by text and calls in a very prompt manner. I can also text him about my concern and get immediate help. I would highly recommend this place for dental care.
Getty G.

Every time I come they always make me feel at home. Miki makes sure that she communicates with me about my appointment and she even gave me a heads up about not coming too early because they were behind. I see Sara every time I come and she is very very helpful and kind. She takes her time and makes me feel comfortable. She's also insightful. Thanks you guys rock!! I refer people here all the time!
Miss G.

Dr. Ryu, Miki, Ashley, and Malika are a dream team. Top quality professionals with a family feel. Dr. Ryu explained everything to me and made me feel really comfortable while his assistant Malika kept a smile on my face. This is my dentist office from now on!!
Christian v.

Dr. Ryo and his staff always do their best to make you feel at ease and answer any questions you might have. I always leave feeling great knowing that my smile just had a five star experience and other people can tell too. I've been told my teeth actually sparkle right after one of my visits. The staff is friendly and really so care about my well being.
Aurorah Y.

Of course I was sad when Dr. Goettl retired, and I still miss him. But Dr. Ryo and his staff are so delightful, so competent, so kind, and so efficient that I feel completely at home with them. And what a great hygienist Karen is! She really set me on the right path a year ago with great advice about sonic toothbrushes and gum picks, such that this year's cleaning was a breeze!
Jill E.

I highly recommend Dr. Ryo and the ENTIRE staff! They are all very professional and kind. I hadn't been to the dentist in a while, but a chipped tooth brought me in. They took me in the same day that I called for help. I was extremely nervous, but immediately I felt so comfortable. In fact, I was so impressed with his skills and his over all demeanor that I actually ended up scheduling a cleaning - now they are my main dentist practice!

They are ALL knowledgable, thorough, efficient, and friendly. They really do care about the patient and work with you for the best options to move forward. I'd give them 6 stars if I could!

Thank you Elegant Smiles!
Kelsey P.

I went to the office today and had 5 cavities to fill. The staff were very professional and made made going to the dentists pleasant. The dentists explained everything he did and the staff was very friendly. This is my new dentists!!
kasey j.

This dentist is pretty awesome he help me with a very bad toothache and I have been going to them ever since. Never been to a dentist that cared as much about their patients as they do
Mike

Dr. Ryo is a great dentist. His cleanings are great and very thorough. His staff are great as well. Our whole family goes to him, kids too! Highly recommended. -The May Family. Decatur, Ga.
Tee M.

Dr. Ryo and his team saw me for a dental emergency within an hour of my initial contact and I was in their office until after closing hours. I can’t say enough about how friendly and professional everyone in the office was. I found it tremendously useful to make contact via the chat feature on their mobile app— a live person (Ashley) responded instantly, listened to my symptoms and instructed me to come in. I was in a lot of pain and worried that something extensive needed to be done, but Dr. Ryo was able to find the source of the problem wasn’t as bad as I’d suspected— he took care of it immediately. I’m an American who was visiting the area from where I live in Britain and in a situation where I was essentially stuck with the pain for another week before I could do something back in the UK. I was also in my third trimester of pregnancy and unable to take anything other than Tylenol for pain, which was increasingly not doing the trick. I hadn’t slept for two nights and was barely able to eat. The instant relief I was provided was a miracle, as far as I was concerned. I don’t carry American dental insurance anymore, so, in addition to the pain and fear that I might have needed a major procedure while pregnant, I also had the cost to think about. I was so relieved, overall, and tremendously thankful to Dr. Ryo and staff for taking care of me for a more than reasonable consult fee. Ashley also followed up with me via SMS the next day and I really appreciated that.
Jennifer W.

This is such a fabulous practice and they are stuck with me forever! Dr Ryo is an excellent Dentist and he and the entire staff are super friendly, charming and easy to work with. Thanks for taking such good care of me!
Berne P.

This is a five star dental clinic. DR. Ryo and his staff are highly professional and trained . I have finally found my dentist.
karimulla M.

Best professional experience at a medical office ever! The level of professionalism Elegant Smiles offers is unmatched. From the time I called to make my appointment to checking out the office - every step of the way was flawless. I had personal contact with every single person on the staff and confidently say everyone enjoys their job.

All staff members are personable, attentive and caring. They go the extra mile.

Love the fact that they embrace technology! Your choice of music during your service and they utilize text messages to communicate with you.
Kamilah G.

Dr. Ryo is awesome! My wife and I have been coming here for more than a year and we love the care we've received. Dr. Ryo is very thorough with his exam and always answers all our questions. The staff are so friendly and welcoming. We've recommended his practice to so many of our friends!
Neil M.

Bri B.

The staff is very friendly and caring. Dr Ryo knows what he’s doing and makes it an easy and enjoyable experience
Cole W.

I have been here since I moved here. This Dental place is probably one of the best dental place that I have been in my life. I have different services here before, they haven't had one time that disappointed to me. I always suggest people to come here when people asked me where should they do for dental service. Dr.Ryo is professional , and Miki is always smiling as well as other staffs. I am also fresh graduated student, so they are willing to work with your payment and so on. I strongly suggest this place to everyone. Keep smiling :)
Kawai Y

I love the staff at Elegant Smiles! They are the most friendly staff i've ever had the chance to experience and they made my visit feel like home. They let me personalize my visit so i can feel comfortable. I got lost on my way there and the receptionists were so nice and patient with me in giving me directions. In addition, their office has a nice, home-y vibe and chill decorative interior. I have another appointment with them for a deep cleaning and i'm so excited!
Iffiya S.

The customer experience here is as lovely as I imagine a dentist appointment can possibly be! Miki at the front desk is so kind and personable every time I interact with her. My appointments have always started on time as well! Thanks, Elegant Smiles!
Gabrielle P.

I am very pleased with this dental office. They make me feel at home every time. Definitely ""elegance""
Shon M.

Great experience. My visit was timely and yet extremely thorough and detailed. I never felt as if I was just being rushed through the office, which was very clean and comfortable. Staff was friendly and helpful. Dr. Hosaka was very easy to talk to and extremely knowledgeable. Will be returning without hesitation.
John Joseph [Student]

I Love it here!! Working on my goals and Dr. Ryo is on his job. Very high quality in care all the way around the board. From Dr. Ryo to his Staff Members each one are Extremely Professional, Very Friendly, and PATIENT. The Facility is Very Well cleaned and maintained. I would recommend to everyone I know!!!
cool 101

Dr. Ryo and his staff are professional, kind, caring. I have been to numerous dentists in my life and I rank him the best. He explained everything and provided the best treatment plan while giving options and education so I could make the right choices. I can't say enough about him and his staff! They are excellent!!
Suzanne C.

From the moment I first called until I left the office, this dental experience was the best I have ever had. In this visit, I got my first filling yet felt completely at ease! I was impressed by how thorough everything was and still very timely. They fit me in for a filling after a cleaning, which was super convenient. Everyone was delightful and professional. They use state of the art technology and everything was clean. I highly recommend!
Caitlin K.

I always have a pleasant experience with Dr. Ryo and his staff. Sometimes I look forward to my next appointment.
Antonio P.

After 30 years of searches, finally I found my dentist. Elegant Smiles has a very nice and positive environment, with helpful staff at info desk, as well as Miki & Dayanna who will give you a warm welcome. I'm so thankful to them for having helped me how to navigate through the complexities of insurance plans.

Apart from being very knowledgeable, Dr.Ryo takes extreme pride in listening to his patient. Together, we discussed the gameplan for my teeth, and I felt confident that I was going to be in good hands. Throughout my life, the dentists I had come across operated like robots, trying to finish the job as fast as they can, without even speaking and listening to you. At last, I can say that now, in a peaceful state of mind, I find myself going to the dentist.
Miroslav S.

Elegant Smiles is a wonderful dental practice. Dr. Ryo, Miki, and all the staff truly care about each of their patients. Every time I visit, I feel like I'm catching up with old friends. I love their preventative approach to oral health and feel my teeth are in the best hands.
Gaby B.

I've had multiple cavities filled and a crown put in at Elegant Smiles, and it's always been as pleasant as any dental procedure can be! Everyone's super nice and makes sure you're comfortable, highly recommended
Caroline

Friendly staff all around. Great place to have some dental work done.
Jess W.

Dr. Ryo, Karen, Malika, Diana, and Mickey are all whom I had the pleasure of meeting at Elegant Smiles for my first dental experience there. Mickey and Diana warmly greeted with me upon my arrival and did an excellent job of keeping me informed beforehand as well. Karen kindly talked me through the importance of flossing and brushing as well as informed me more about oral health and gum/bacteria formation. She played Queen for me and calmly as well as gently proceeded with cleaning my teeth. Dr. Ryo was informative and genuine. I could tell he was giving me his honest feedback and best recommendations to maximize my health most effectively, efficiently, and cost friendly. I never felt pressured or pushed. Just informed and assured. The office space is beautiful and the dentist chairs are comfy! This is an updated, modern environment that creates a warm and soothing experience from the moment you walk in. Going to the dentist isn't so scary anymore (: Thank you again Elegant Smiles for the great customer service and dental care!

*Sorry if I misspelled any names!
Alessandra

Love this place. Great service and wonderful people!
Tom C.

My visit to Elegant Smiles was hands down one of the most pleasant experiences I've ever had at a dentist's office (or even outside of one)! Making an appointment was a breeze and they had all of my insurance information pulled up when I went in so there were no surprises when it came to billing. Dr. Ryo explained what he was doing every step of the way, which was both informative and put me at ease. Everyone there is so friendly and cheerful - at no point in the appointment did I feel rushed, but the whole process is very efficient as well. I will definitely be coming back for all my dental needs!
Daimeng Y.

Dr. Ryo has always taken care to make sure he answered any questions I had and took the time that he needed to with me. I have very sensitive teeth and gums, so checking regularly throughout check ups to ensure I'm comfortable is important to me. His staff is always very professional and friendly, too.
Wendy C.

Dr. Ryo is the best dentist in Atlanta! He's smart, ethical and empathetic. I've been to a number of dentist around town, no one does it better!
TScott D.

Dr. Ryo has been wonderful since he took over for Dr. Goettle. I enjoy the way he talks you through each step. There are no surprises. You also don't feel like a scolded child when you own up to lacks in dental routine. He simply gives you suggestions for improvement and focus areas. The verdict is still out on the new addition Karen (I think that's her name 🤔).
Sarah B.

This place is excellent. Dr. Ryo is knowledgeable, caring, and careful. I'm very comfortable here. He really goes the extra mile too to show he cares about his patients. He gave me his cell number the week before my wedding just in case something unfortunate happened with my teeth so that he could take care of it ASAP as to not have a mishap impact my wedding. Just stellar service. The front desk is always chipper and smiling to start the appointment off right. I highly recommend this office.JP
Jeff Pennington Jr.

Dr Ryo is a terrific dentist and his support staff are very professional and friendly. His examination and cleaning were thorough and effective. He carefully explained what I should do to prevent any future problems with my teeth and gums. I look forward to my next appointment. Great dentist. Also loved the office decor...very tastefully done unlike most medical offices where my first impulse is usually to run out the door. Five stars!
Louis S.

Having had the same dentist that I really liked for more than 20 years, I wasn't looking forward to getting used to another one when I needed a new bridge - extensive work. It's been over 2 months now since Dr. Hosaka installed it and it is such good quality! It fits, works and feels like the absolute best I could get. The staff treat you like family members - caring, attentive, personable and happy to see you! I highly recommend this team!
hrrism

Very quick and painless. Dr. Rio and his staff helped me to better understand what steps I can take at home to improve my oral health. They are beautiful people!
Brent R.

Dr. Ryo and his staff are top-notch. They have a personable and honest approach that is educational and empowering. This style, along with state-of-the-art technology, a comfortable office, and gentle care make Elegant Smiles an A+ practice.
Heather R.

I had a great experience at Elegant Smiles. The location is easy to get to with convenient access to I-85. The entire staff is very friendly and I was seen promptly. Ellen, the hygienist is awesome and makes you feel comfortable. Dr. Ryo is also very friendly and very thorough. He spent a lot of time on my visit and did a more complete exam than any dentist I have seen before. I will definitely be back and will recommend to friends!
Ashley D.

I researched some dentists in the Brookhaven area and chose Dr.Ryo on a whim. I am self pay and received a flyer in the mail offering a discount. Upon arriving to my appointment, I was blown away. The office is modern, comfortable and clean. The receptionist and billing are sweet and friendly to talk to. Once I was called back to begin, they took XRays. The X-ray tech was extremely professional and it was an easy process. Next, I got to meet Dr.Ryo. I think Dr. Ryo was meant to be a dentist! He is so professional, responsive, patient and listens to his patients! He eventually asked me ""what do you want to change about your smile?"" And guided me through the procedures in a very calming manor. Being self pay, I signed up for their ""no insurance program"" which is not only affordable but includes cleanings and discounts on fillings, etc. I eventually came back to get a filling and was once again blown away with the service. Dr. Ryo wants his patients to feel comfortable and at ease. I highly recommend this practice and foresee Elegant Smiles being mine and my families Dentist for a long time. Thanks Dr. Ryo!
Roya S.

Awesome dentist! Everyone there was really nice and went the extra mile to make sure I was comfortable. The dentist did things and explained things about my teeth that no other dentist ever has! Very knowledgeable and made sure that I understood everything as well! I would highly recommend them to everyone! The place was a little difficult for me to find but once you figure it out it is no problem and might have actually been might fault as well. Enjoy!
Lindsey T.

I like going to Elegant Smiles because my teeth are always cleaned perfectly. I love the atmosphere which is calm and clean. The advanced technology makes it to where I can see what's going on with my teeth, it makes me feel comfortable and trust what the decisions on how to fix them.
Serita S.

The staff at Elegant Smiles is very friendly and courteous. The location is very conveniently located on the access road with plenty of parking, and the space is bright and modern. Dr. Ryo is extremely professional, thorough, and efficient. At each visit he recommends changes you can make in your brushing and flossing, and emphasizes the best dental hygiene practices each time he sees you. It is clear that he is very invested in making sure his patients have the best dental health possible.
Caitlin A.

Elegant smiles exceeded my expectations. The staff is friendly, Dr. Ryo is confident and caring. I was relaxed and comfortable during my visit and look forward to my next appointment. It was one of the best experiences I've had at any dental practice.
Faith D.

Dr. Ryo and his staff are outstanding. He has treated me as though I was his most important patient since Day 1, always taking time to explain next steps and making sure I feel comfortable.

If you're looking for a dental office you can go to for years to come, give Elegant Smiles a try.
Evan B.

I recently relocated to Atlanta and luckily found this dental practice. I've been 100% satisfied with the service and care. It's conveniently located - just off I-85 and is open for Friday appointments. Dr. Ryo & all the staff are welcoming, friendly, and professional. In my opinion, if you're looking for a dentist, look no further.
jack m.

A truly great dentist. He is personable, knowledgeable, and takes his time to explain what he is doing inside of your mouth. The staff are cheerful and the office environment is wonderful. I highly recommend Elegant Smiles. Karl
KDL O.

I am very pleased with my first visit to Elegant Smiles. The staff's explanations were great and the acutual dental work that I got done turn out great! I will defiantly recommend Elegant Smiles to my close friends and family. Thanks for everything Dr.Ryo, Miki, and Ellan. I'll see you all next visit.
Tannie S.

Just got my teeth cleaned with Dr. Ryo for the first time today and couldn't have had a more pleasant experience. He took his time and was very thorough. The staff was very welcoming!
Russell M.

I decided to give them a try since they are a mile away from where I live. By far, this was the best experience I ever had going to the dentist. Dr. Ryo and his team do a great job!
Hansu P.

I went to Elegant Smiles Dental Office today for my first visit. It was actually a pleasure meeting Dr Ryo and his staff. Every staff member went overboard in their welcome and assuring my comfort. Dr Ryo actually spent 90 minutes with me....cleaning, probing and providing an exact summary of what was going on and what I needed....all 100% pain free. His prices were great...the visit was pain and stress-free, and I look forward to initiating my treatment next week.
Charles M.

Elegant Smiles is fantastic. Super professional staff and Dr. Ryo explains everything as he takes care of your teeth. Milo is so pleasant as is Ellen and the rest of the staff. I highly recommend Elegant Smiles for routine and specialty dental care. Delightful experience!
Paran P.

I've been searching for the right Dentist for a long time now. From the moment I met Dr.Ryo and his staff I knew this is where I needed to be. I'm so thankful for his attention to detail and his expertise.

Dennis C.

I appreciated how Dr. Ryo explains everything he is doing and takes time to instruct his patients on proper tooth care. Dr. Ryo and the staff are all very friendly and helpful. Appointment was also very efficient.
Jennifer F.

I have recently moved from Florida to Atlanta and needed a new dentist. My previous dentist of 5 years took x-rays before my relocation a few months ago and said I needed 6 cavities filled. When I called Dr. Ryo's dentistry, I was greeted by Miki who was very helpful in getting my files transferred over and setting me up with an exam with Dr. Ryo. Ellen was also very helpful, and funny! To my surprise, after the examination, Dr. Ryo told me he could take care of the 6 fillings the same day. I do not enjoy getting fillings done, but after he was done, I was confident he did an excellent job. It is very close to home, and work as well which is a bonus. I have already scheduled my routine cleaning for next month. Very pleased overall.
Nicholas M.

Dr. Ryo and his staff provide a warm and welcoming environment for your dental needs. Dr. Ryo is thorough and gentle, and treats you and your health concerns with the highest respect. If you are seeking an in-town, easily accessible, comfortable, and comprehensive dentist's office, you will not be disappointed with Elegant Smiles.
brian k.

I had the best experience ever getting my teeth cleaned!! Finally I found a dentist I feel comfortable switching to, because I was educated on what is really going on with my gums. My old dentist recommended a deep cleaning, but I was showed how that wouldn't help me in the best way. On top of that, everyone including the dentist was super nice, from the day I made the appt over the phone! I mean SUPER consistently and genuinely friendly!! They gave me a very nice thermo cup for visiting which was also a super plus. The bathroom was very nice too lol! It even had a scale it in. I highly recommend coming to this location if you have a need for a dentist with office staff that stands out as the best!
Saundra C.

I haven't been to the dentist in YEARS, however, I will be going every 6 months (as your supposed to) because of my experience at Elegant Smiles yesterday! When I walked in I felt like I was at home (hints to the cute wall of patients' photos). Miki is the kindess/sweetest receptionist I have ever met. All of my questions and concerns were handled professionally and politely. Ellen, the dental assistant was friendly/funny. While taking my x-rays, she pulled up YouTube and let me listen to one of my favorite singers (Beyoncé).

Dr. Ryo was also extremely friendly and informative. Each step, tool and term was explained to me in detail. I'm sure he had a full load of patients that day, but I would've never guessed it due to the personal time he took with me. Sadly, I found out that I had 7 caivities (horrible I know). Dr. Ryo gave me a discount the procedure which showed me that me truly cares about the health of his patients and is not in this profession just for the money! ***Btw, this discount was included with the $25 referral credit I have and the FREE $200 teeth whitening special that new patients receive (not sure when this is ending).

I have never experienced as much personal time as this staff gives. In past dental experiences, I felt rushed while being surrounded by thousands of other dental hygienists and patients (exaggeration but you know what I mean). I live 45mins away from this office but I am willing to make that drive for this great customer service!
Jasmine R.

Very nice staff. Attentive, kind, welcoming people. Time was taken by Dr. Ryo Hosaka to explain everything he was doing. Cleaning was gentle, quick, and painless. Overall a great office with personable and professional staff.
Ryan K.

This place is awesome and so conveniently located away from traffic. Love the decor and the first class staff! Dr. Ryo was so caring and explained everything thoroughly. Most of all, each visit has been pain free!
Jibin T.

The Entire staff is outstanding and Dr Ryo is very skilled and really goes into depth to help you improve your dental hygiene.
Nelson Z.

Dr. Goetll had been my dentist since I was a teenager, and now that I'm in my mid-fifties I was apprehensive about going to a new dentist. I am no longer apprehensive. Dr. Ryo had big shoes to step into, and he is doing a great job. I feel just as comfortable with him as I did with Dr. Goettl. I also love seeing Ellen. She is a pleasure!
Debra T.

Dr. Ryo Hosaka and the Hygienest Karen are amazing!! They made me feel completely comfortable. The office is clean the staff are incredibly sweet and funny! Karen chatted it up with me and answered all my questions even questions not about my teeth and I thank her so much for the kind words. I work at an orthodontic office and we plan on referring our patients over to Dr. Ryo Hosaka's office. Thank you for the exceptional service and I can't wait for my next appointment!!
Kirsten T.

I love this dental office, great service, great communication skills and miky you are the best!!
Willmer R.

I was disappointed when Dr. Goettl retired and sold his practice, but very thankful for the young doctor he sold it to. Ellen is still there and as pleasant as ever, and Dr. Ryo and the new members of his staff are absolutely fantastic. He's not one of those new dentists that sells you a bunch of elective stuff. Gives you the treatment you need, with clear treatment plans, transparent pricing, proactive insurance engagement, sms based appointment reminders . . . Its great!
Harvey S.

My entire process at Elegant Smiles was AMAZING everyone is professional, very nice, and knowledgeable. There location is almost in the heart of Atlanta which was great, they offer a in office dental plan I got enrolled in due to not having dental insurance at the time which is a good plan because it offers discounts on all procedures in office, they partner with CareCredit to help with cost of procedures possibly needed, and understood i haven't been to the dentist in awhile so they explained every step in detail and also took it VERY easy on me as far as pain for my root canal service I got done. I will not go anywhere else I love there service and the employees for being so personable and still getting everything done correct. KUDOS Dr. Ryo, Miki, ellen, and dayanna
Harmoniah C.

Dr. Ryo at Elegant Smiles is absolutely wonderful. One of the many things about his practice that I really like is that he takes the time to explain what he's doing and what you can do yourself to maintain your dental health. His explanations are very clear, and it is so obvious that he cares about his patients. He's thorough and I always leave having learned something. Another reason I like his practice is that the other folks who work with Dr. Ryo could not do more to make us feel welcomed and appreciated. They are all great. I highly recommend Elegant Smiles!
Ondina G.

I have lived in Atlanta for a while now and have never found a dentist that I truly liked. I went to Dr. Ryo Hosaka at Elegant Smiles for the first time today and was thrilled with both the staff and the office. Dr. Ryo explained everything so well and the entire staff made me feel comfortable. Dr. Ryo is clearly a highly skilled dentist and I am excited to have finally found a dentist's office that I am happy to return to in the future. I highly recommend Dr. Ryo and Elegant Smiles to anyone looking for competent and caring dental professionals.
Samantha K.

Excellent service! It has been a fantastic experience today!
Westley V.

I use to dread going to the dentist. However, Dr. Ryo along with his staff, Ellen and Miki, made me feel comfortable and at ease. My teeth and smile have never looked better! Dr. Ryo rocks!
julie r.

Dr.Ryo is a very skilled, and personable dentist. I recommend him, as he is one of the best dentists in the entire Atlanta area.
Rex P.

I’ve been going to Elegant Smiles since Dr. Ryo took over the practice of my retiring dentist last year, and I had some major dental work done there late last year.

I must say that Dr. Ryo and his staff (Ellen, Miki, Diana, and Carmen) have helped make the transition a pleasant and a winning one.

Dr. Ryo has the skill and the personality to have a successful practice for a very long time; I was extremely pleased with the quality of the work he has done, so much in fact, that I consider him a master.

He is very attentive to the patient’s needs, and is very careful to eliminate most, if not all, pain for the patient, constantly monitoring the patient for discomfort. I.e., he has a great bedside manner.

Also, Dr. Ryo is very generous and stands behind his work, which has been superb so far.

Dr. Ryo and his staff are so personable and fun that every visit is at least somewhat pleasurable, no matter what the dental procedure happens to be. Miki, Diana, and Carmen are lots of fun, and Ellen is a joy to be with. The office offers the perfect combination of frivolity and professionalism.

Although admittedly not particularly important, the staff is also young and very attractive, which is just an added bonus.

I consider myself very fortunate to have found another great dental practice.
Melinda D.

I enjoyed it. Ellen and Dr. Ryo were prompt and thorough. Dr. Ryo explained everything, was friendly, patient, and great overall. Miki was a pleasure, even at 8am! Would definitely recommend them to anyone.
Tramaine B.

Everyone was really nice and professional; they made me feel very comfortable.
Christie K.

I would highly recommend Elegant Smile for a great comprehensive Dental Care experience!!
jimmy e.

Dr. Ryo and company do a fantastic, thorough job.
Greg D.

It's a great experience having my dental care at elegant smiles.

They are a fun and hip crew, which makes me look forward to going to the dentist.

I came into Dr. Ryos office with a dental emergency and have since made them my primary dental office. Not only did Dr. Ryo take care of my emergency in a very timely manner but he was also able to save a few teeth that I had been previously told couldn’t be saved. I’ve had a significant amount of visits/work done and it has all been painless which is a plus. The rest of the staff is amazing as well. Everyone is polite and caring and take care of any concerns/needs. They will give you a smile you are proud of. I’d recommend this office to everyone!

I am past 70 and have had a lot of dental work done in my life. I have been going to Elegant Smiles formore than a year now. This practice is, without a doubt, the best I have ever been to, including university dental schools and very fine dentists. The entire staff is incredibly competent, and the hygienist and Dr. Ryo are absolutely superb. Moreover, they are friendly, personable, kind, and caring. My advice is to check them out today! Just FYI, I have never written a positive review of any office practice before; I asked for the link to write this one!

I came to Dr. Ryo after a poor experience at a previous dentist and with some hesitation and fears about going to the dentist in general. On my first appointment I was warmly greeted by Miki and immediately put at ease by the dental hygienist. Dr. Ryo always takes the time to come meet me as well as explain everything to make me feel comfortable with treatment decisions.I decided to start an Invisalign treatment after a few months of being with the practice and have been beyond pleased with the experience and results. The front desk staff are always welcoming and friendly. I highly recommend this practice to all my friends and will be taking my daughter in whenever she gets teeth!

Emergency crown replacement needed! I was seen the day I walked in, then my tooth was worked on the very next day. On top of that, the crown was done in only a week time which usually takes 2 weeks. My VA insurance benefits are in San Diego. Dr. Ryo, Mickey and Ashley we're able to help with the complex VA benefits paper work to get my crown done here in Atlanta, saving me a trip back to California. I was very fortunate to find this team. The office is beautiful and very inviting and the staff is very nice, grounded and friendly. Thank you! The crown is perfect!

Chipped my tooth and Elegant Smiles was able to get me an appointment the same day. I liked the fast and friendly service of the dentist and staff so much that I went back 2 days later to fix some cavities that they found.

Great Service and caring professionals. Dr. Rio is very caring and took time to instruct his patients on proper care of the teeth and go the extra mile to address his patients' oral needs. The service was great and fast. He follows up to make sure i was ok. He reaches out by text and calls in a very prompt manner. I can also text him about my concern and get immediate help. I would highly recommend this place for dental care.

Every time I come they always make me feel at home. Miki makes sure that she communicates with me about my appointment and she even gave me a heads up about not coming too early because they were behind. I see Sara every time I come and she is very very helpful and kind. She takes her time and makes me feel comfortable. She's also insightful. Thanks you guys rock!! I refer people here all the time!

Dr. Ryu, Miki, Ashley, and Malika are a dream team. Top quality professionals with a family feel. Dr. Ryu explained everything to me and made me feel really comfortable while his assistant Malika kept a smile on my face. This is my dentist office from now on!!
